Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Difference Between Student-Grade and Professional Paints?

Student-grade paints have a lower pigment concentration and are more affordable. Professional paints offer more intense shades, better lightfastness, and greater coverage. Student-grade paints are perfectly adequate for beginners.

Which Artist Paint Brand Is Best?

It depends on the technique. For acrylics, we recommend KREUL and Liquitex; for oils, Winsor & Newton and Schmincke; for watercolors, Daniel Smith and Schmincke. At ARTMiE, you’ll find paints from more than 40 world-renowned brands.

Can Artist Paints Be Mixed Together?

Yes, paints of the same type (acrylic with acrylic, oil with oil) can be freely mixed. We recommend mixing paints from the same manufacturer for the best results. Never mix oil with acrylic, as they have different chemical bases.
